‘PM not taking confidence vote’
Federal Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has not decided to take the vote of confidence.
The information minister said in her tweet that there was no such consultation and there was no need for it.
She said that Shehbaz is the unanimous candidate of the people, party, and coalition partners, and was voted to the leadership of the National Assembly (NA) on April 11, 2022.
Marriyum said that this "fabricated rumour" is not true.
She also asked the media to not run news about the prime minister without verification.
Earlier in the day, reports claimed that the premier has decided to take the vote of confidence on April 27 and consultations had been completed in this regard.
It is worth mentioning here that this rumour and its rebuttal come at a time when the institutions have apparently come face to face with each other and political tensions are at an all-time high.
